This question is answered in Wikipedia under "Blue Riband." The Danish ferry Cat-Link V (or today Master Cat) made an eastbound Atlantic crossing on July 20, 1998 in 2 days, 20 hours, 9 minutes, at an average speed of 41.3 knots. Additional information from Reuters shows the voyage was from New York to Bishop Rock, a distance of 1018.2 nautical miles. The Blue Riband, a 30-meter banner, and a coveted prize, "The Hales Trophy," are awarded to the fastest vessel over the Atlantic. The Cat-Link V was owned by Master Ferries.
